NCT04904588

Brief Summary

This is a prospective, multi-center, Phase II study of hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) using human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-mismatched unrelated donors (MMUD) for peripheral blood stem cell transplant in adults and bone marrow stem cell transplant in children. Post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy), tacrolimus and mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) will be used for for graft versus host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis. This trial will study how well this treatment works in patients with hematologic malignancies.

Documentation of bone marrow assessment will be accepted within 45 days prior to the anticipated start of conditioning.
  • Patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) with no circulating blasts and with \< 10% blasts in the bone marrow (higher blast percentage allowed in MDS due to lack of differences in outcomes with \< 5% or 5-10% blasts in MDS).

  • Liver function acceptable per local institutional guidelines
  • Karnofsky performance status (KPS) of \> 70%
  • Subjects ≥ 18 years of age or legally authorized representative must have the ability to give informed consent according to applicable regulatory and local institutional requirements.

  • +38 more criteria

You may not qualify if:

  • Suitable HLA-matched related or 8/8 high-resolution matched unrelated donor available

  • Subjects with an autologous HSC transplant within the past 3 months
  • Females who are breast-feeding or pregnant
  • Uncontrolled bacterial, viral or fungal infection at the time of the transplant preparative regimen
  • Concurrent enrollment on other interventional GVHD clinical trial (enrollment on supportive care trials may be allowed after discussion with Principal Investigators)
  • Subjects who undergo desensitization to reduce anti-donor HLA antibody levels prior to transplant.
  • Patients who are HIV+ with persistently positive viral load. HIV-infected patients on effective anti-retroviral therapy with undetectable viral load within 6 months are eligible for this trial.
  • Donor unwilling or unable to donate
  • Recipient positive anti-donor HLA antibodies against a mismatched HLA in the selected donor determined by the presence of donor specific HLA antibodies (DSA) to any mismatched HLA allele/antigen at any of the following loci (HLA-A, -B, -C, -DRB1, DRB3, DRB4, DRB5, -DQA1, -DQB1, -DPA1, -DPB1) with median fluorescence intensity (MFI) \>3000 by microarray-based single antigen bead testing. In patients receiving red blood cell or platelet transfusions, DSA evaluation must be performed or repeated post-transfusion and prior to donor mobilization and initiation of recipient preparative regimen.
